Items that share the same official city or county source are grouped here. Alias items open this program section; core guides stay on their own page.
Bulky pickup in Elizabeth
Mattresses, furniture, and many appliances — city bulk or drop-off, not the regular cart.
Official source:
Elizabeth mattresss: go as ≤3 household bulk items on the 2nd garbage day of the week (Thu/Fri by ward). Metal/appliances by appointment (908) 820-4150. TVs excluded from bulk.
Household hazardous waste — used oil, paint, propane, batteries, and chemicals.
Official source:
motor oil: Elizabeth has no permanent HHW site. Take motor oil to Union County Household Special Waste collection events (ucnj.org) — hotline (908) 654-9889.
Cart recycling, store film take-back, and foam rules — not a second bulky program.
Official source:
Elizabeth recycling carts do not want expanded polystyrene (EPS). White block foam, packing peanuts, and food trays are different streams. Grocery film/bag bins are not a foam drop-off. City of Elizabeth — Recycling / Bulk is the official Elizabeth program we verified — if that page only mentions plastic bags or film, treat block foam and food trays as bagged garbage unless it names a foam densifier. Clean peanuts may be reused at a shipper; starch peanuts are not EPS.
